I stopped writing anything like rust because rust its ecosystem is mostly complete enough , expressive, and rapid to prototype and use. To save my cognitive load I shelved my python, Bourne, JavaScript, etc, and just write rust now. It’s not a decision for everyone and I’m not here to convince anyone of anything. But my life is simpler, my scripts more general and faster, and I don’t particularly ever miss the interpreted languages. It took a while to build that level of facility in rust for simple tasks, and of getting over the mental wall of “python is for X and compiled is for Y.” But I’m generally glad I did. Except when it comes to coding interviews and none of the graders know rust and my Python is getting rusty (harhar) after a few years of leaving it aside.
In my profession (sysadmin related) it seems that if you want the glue-code orchestration and SDK availability of Python, but with better performance and types, you use golang. I don't think most vendors are popping out Rust SDKs for the product's APIs.
I'm not invalidating your experience, it sounds wonderful to find the solace in one language.
Yeah just similar to Python the build and package management stuff in go is a nightmare, and I’d rather hitch my cart to the Mozilla guys than the Google guys. (I’m ex-Netscape and helped launch the OSS of the browser into Mozilla)
On apis, honestly, I just write my own api integrations. But most of the APIs I use are documented without programmatic specifications, and sdks are usually garbage written by an intern :-)
